Where are the connector blocks going? You shouldn't be pushing them bare back up into the ceiling. If space allows it's best for them to remain inside the fitting. In that case, you should need no extra wire, as the terminals on the fitting can be used to make some of the necessary connections.

the fitting didnt come with a block, i've got two but just using the one. it has the three wires L/N/E

i've put the two live wires into one block.
two neutrals into another.
im left with the two brown wires in the lampholder thats in the pic.
all i need do now is connect one of those brown wires with the lives, then the switch live into the fitting, and the neutral from the fitting into the neutral block yes?

Yes, that sounds correct. And of course connect all the earths.

thankyou for your help.

being as one of the feeds is from the upstairs light. connecting this way will ensure that will also work correctly?
